Personal:

I am originally from Knoxville, TN and moved to SLC with Jake in 2010. I started racing in 2011 and had some great success before a major injury hit me in July 2012. I had athletic pubalgia surgery in May 2013...then again in Sept 2014 and am still trying to get back to my old self. Although running is my true passion, I love doing pretty much anything active outdoors - backcountry skiing, backpacking, biking, etc. 

I've been running for the Saucony Team since 2011. I enjoy representing the brand and really do believe they make the best shoes :)

I work as a Quality Engineer for BD Medical in Sandy.

AM - I was feeling pretty good last night and had these grand plans to ride the recumbent bike for 15 minutes....then woke up this morning from a very achy psoas muscle. So day 5 of no aerobic training - I feel gross and am pretty sure my legs and hips are 3x bigger than they were last week. I'm going to get a 100th opinion tomorrow after putting the doctor through a long series of questions to test his knowledge and make sure I would get a thorough biomechanical evaluation. Obviously lots of overexaggerations today. My boss looked at me today and said "You look grumpy". 

If you are having lower leg problems, shin spints, plantar fascitis, etc. this is a great foot and ankle routine that you should consider doing.

3X might be a slight exaggeration.

Maybe 3 millimeters.

I'm so sorry. I never realize how much my body craves/needs exercise to feel good both mentally and physically, until I'm injured. Hope you get better fast. Thanks for the link, um definitely checking it out!

So sorry Andrea! I would probably be about 100 times more dramatic than you are being. Hang in there and hopefully doc apt tomorrow goes well.

Thanks so much for the link. Those seem to be my main problem areas.

Andrea...I'm so sorry! Running keeps us all sane and when we can't do it, the grumpies creep in! Keep posting through this hiccup....it helps us mere mortals cope too! Onward and upward!

So sorry this injury has been lingering around! The good thing is that you will get back into shape so fast from buliding your miles up through all the years! Great job with keeping up with your rehab routine and strength training! You're doing everything right.

Thank you for the great sources on iron deficiencies mentioned on your Mar. 23 (2012) post. I'm new around here and am finding a wealth of resources and information for all these good people.
